stop jerking off for attention. the article is ok, not great and more in line with what a kid from the 'medium' would write
The medium…yikes. 🫣
I’ll take a “medium” (C+/B-) level performance from the position for the season right now.
Give it a rest. Iseman's article is good, but so was Politi's on this topic. Both were well written with different angles which isn't really a surprise. I actually liked Steve's angle on how RU has failed to develop a QB in 10+ years - it's the truth. Let's hope Kaliakmanis is up to the test, although I still think Shepard looked better in the spring game (with the caveat that it was the spring game and we don't see the practices).
Surely a smart guy like you understands that Steve is a columnist and Chris is a reporter.
This. IMO they are both very good at what they do, but they do different things.
Hard to develop QBs when you're turning over OC's annually during the Flood and Ash tenures as well as making poor recruiting decisions with HS recruits and in the portal.
I don't think development is the issue. We havent signed a quality QB since Nova - present QB room excluded due to lack of info.
Wimsatt was highly rated.
Yes and no. Even assuming there are few schools without a projected proven starter, some are FBS and some are FCS. It will be significant which kind Wimsatt winds up. But I agree that it's unlikely that a major conference school will bring him in to compete with an "incumbent" like the one we got in Kaliakmanis.
were you watching? improved depth yes but in very vanilla, no blitz packages and straight up man on man, the bench was still lacking. You can't have it both ways here
his ranking was flawed, should never have been ranked that high
best athlete? your best athletes are usually on defense. Gav showed nothing to say he was the best athlete. he could throw the ball far, so can many other people. He ran fast, so can many other people. He never juked, never covered anyone in a read and react mode (his only read and react led to how many INT for 6?)
Gavin was not the best athlete on the roster. Strongest arm of the QB room but far from the best athlete on the team.
You make a good point, but if Wimsatt goes to a g-5 program we might be safe in suspecting P-4 programs might not think he'd be starting material for them in the future and going g-5 was what Gavin found his only option.
I think that’s probably a given. If a school like NW picked him up, it would not be because they thought he has this untapped talent as much as he’d be a veteran guy whose played at the BIG level before in the absence of anyone else getting late in the game.
Not enough pathos and drama. I read it while plunking a high C on the piano.
I meant one of the best and best athlete in the QB room. Not many kids can do what he is capable of doing. We have a lot of great athletes but not sure any of them can throw the ball and run for an 80 yard TD. Would have liked to have seen him stick around which was the main point I was making but I like the kids who are here a lot.
Yeah it's not easy playing the toughest schedule in NCAAF but the good news is we get a break in that area. We will play some great teams but not the Defenses we saw last year.
